This Plantain Curry is such a unique curry you probably wouldn’t have tasted before with both sweet and savory ingredients included in this dish, it’s an explosion of flavors.
If you like salted caramel, you will love this Bermudian style Plantain Curry.
For people from other Caribbean islands this plantain curry may seem quite a bit different with ingredients like apples and hard boiled eggs included within this curry as well as raisins and using flour as a thickening agent.
While this recipe is more traditionally made with green banana, I am not a fan of the starchy taste of green banana, so I used green plantain here instead. Like I always say “A recipe is a guide; not a Bible.”
How to Make Plantain Curry
Serve with rice and mango chutney or pineapple chutney.

That's another very interesting recipe with plantains.. Apples, raisins and boiled eggs sound very unusual in a curry, but the final product looks delicious.
Another new recipe and new way of preparing plantains 🙂

Plantain curry is a great example of how plantains are used in savory dishes across the Caribbean and South Asia — in Bermuda the combination of plantains with eggs and apple is unusual but reflects the island’s diverse culinary influences. Green plantains have a starchy, almost potato-like texture that works well in curry, while ripe plantains add sweetness. The dish is quite different from the West African kelewele (spiced fried plantains) or the Ecuadorian bolon de verde (plantain dumplings), showing how versatile the ingredient is.
I agree. Plantain are one of the most versatile of food ingredients in the world.
